Congratulations to the two new Co-Chairs of the DDI Training Working Group: Alina Danciu (Sciences Po) and Hayley Mills (CLOSER).  And special thanks to outgoing Co-Chairs Jane Fry (Carleton University) and Anja Perry (GESIS), who recently completed their two year terms leading the working group!  

The mission of the Training Working Group is to:

• Introduce people to DDI and improve people's competence in working with DDI
• Gear training to specific audiences
• Develop expertise within the community for training purposes
• Maintain a training library with updated training material for reuse

Anyone may join the group, which meets monthly.  Please contact the chairs about how to join!

In their November 2021 meeting, the Executive Board elected a new Chair (Bill Block, Cornell University) and Vice Chair (Barry Radler, University of Wisconsin-Madison).

The Chair and Vice Chair serve two year terms.  In addition to leading the Executive Board, which is the policymaking and oversight body of the DDI Alliance, the Chair and Vice Chair also lead the Annual Meeting of the DDI Membership Representatives.

Special thanks to Steve McEachern, Australia Data Archive (ADA), who served the previous three consecutive terms as Chair of the Executive Board.

The DDI Training Group has organized a series of tutorials around the upcoming EDDI 2021 users conference. This includes a general overview of the DDI standards on Friday, November 26, followed by a series of more detailed tutorials on Monday November 29, and a session describing the software tools and services available for implementing DDI.

All of the EDDI 2021 events are free of charge, and are open to anyone who is interested. The sessions will be virtual, and will be recorded.

The DDI Alliance, CODATA and other partners organised three workshops in September 2021 on topics relating to FAIR data sharing and implications for data and metadata management. Two of the workshops were hybrid in format, using the Schloss Dagstuhl location in conjunction with other remote locations and participants. The third workshop in Australia was a purely virtual event due to COVID restrictions. 

The topics of the workshops were as follows:

• Further Development of the DDI Cross Domain Integration Model for FAIR Data Sharing across Discipline and Domain Boundaries, Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for Informatics, Wadern, Germany, September 20-24, 2021 [LINK TO REPORT]
• Interoperability for Cross-Domain Research: Use Cases for Metadata Standards, Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for Informatics, Wadern, Germany, September 27 to October 1, 2021 [LINK TO REPORT]
• Interoperability for Cross-Domain Research: FAIR Vocabularies, Canberra, Melbourne, and other sites in Australia, September 27 to October 1, 2021 [LINK TO REPORT]

The workshop on DDI-CDI focused on technical topics which provided input to the subsequent workshop on use cases for metadata standards.

The two workshops on ‘Interoperability for Cross-Domain Research’ built on the outcomes of two previous Dagstuhl Workshops in 2018 and 2019 on the alignment of standards and technologies for cross-domain data integration. 

The workshops were organised as a cooperative effort between CODATA and the DDI Alliance by the long-time organizing team Simon Cox, Arofan Gregory, Simon Hodson, Steven McEachern, Hilde Orten, and Joachim Wackerow. Additional organizers contributed to specific workshops: Rowan Brownlee, Kheeran Dharmawardena and Lesley Wyborn. Profound thanks go to Schloss Dagstuhl - the Leibniz Center for Informatics for continuing to provide an excellent meeting facility and support for these efforts.
